New capabilities and AI Pricing Simulator help companies model AI pricing, launch flexible offers, and connect usage, billing, and revenue recognition on one end-to-end monetization platform

FOSTER CITY, Calif., June 4, 2026 – Zuora Inc., the leading monetization platform and system of record for quote-to-cash, today announced new capabilities to monetize AI products quickly and effectively from pricing through revenue recognition. Additionally, with Zuora’s new AI Pricing Simulator, companies can explore pricing models and test assumptions in real time to understand potential revenue and financial impact even before launching an AI offer.

AI is changing what’s sold, how customers expect to buy, and how revenue is generated, managed, and trusted. While companies race to introduce AI products priced by usage, tokens, credits, commitments, outcomes, and hybrid models, operational demands increase to capture usage accurately, structure flexible contracts, recognize revenue correctly, and keep adapting as models change.

New capabilities in Zuora’s AI Monetization Suite help companies:

• Balance AI usage, demand, and spend with Flexible Commitments: Structure committed spend agreements that draw down across any mix of usage-based products, recurring charges, one-time fees, and services. Give sales teams more flexibility to shape AI contracts around customer requirements, while helping finance automate how those commitments flow into billing and revenue recognition.

• Test AI pricing before launch with the AI Monetization Simulation Experience: Walk through an AI offering, get pricing recommendations based on best practices, see how Zuora would support each model, and begin simulating impact across billing, revenue, and margins. Teams can evaluate pricing strategies, contract decisions, and active usage scenarios before rolling changes out to customers.

• Monetize AI usage with metered entitlements: Configure raw usage data, billable metrics, and access levels to those metrics natively within Zuora’s product catalog. This provides teams more flexibility to meter, entitle, and price a wide range of AI usage-based products while keeping pricing, access, usage, billing, and revenue connected.

• Give customers new transparency into AI usage with Zuora Experiences: Easily surface usage tracking, wallet balances, overage alerts, top-ups, and expansion offers directly in existing customer channels. Bring more predictability to variable AI consumption while giving customers visibility and control before usage turns into billing surprises.

Together, these capabilities build on Zuora’s nearly two decades of leadership managing monetization complexity across quoting, billing, collections, payments, and revenue recognition. As AI pushes companies toward more variable pricing and usage models, Zuora’s AI Monetization Suite brings the full process together end-to-end, helping companies launch flexible AI pricing models, support enterprise contracts, give customers usage transparency, and connect AI usage to billing and revenue recognition without disconnected side ledgers, downstream cleanup, or added audit risk.

“AI is turning monetization into a moving target,” said Shakir Karim, Senior Vice President of Product Management at Zuora. “Companies need to experiment with new pricing models as AI products evolve, but they also need financial control, auditability, and revenue accuracy from day one. Zuora’s AI Monetization Suite helps businesses launch, learn, and scale AI monetization without leaving finance to clean up the complexity later.”

“With the arrival of AI, many new pricing metrics are emerging,” said Mélanie Septe, Senior Vice President of Pricing at Cegid. “The challenge is to choose the one that will make sense for the future — both for the customer and for us. Zuora gives us the flexibility to test and pivot quickly as we learn.”
